4K vs 1080p Graphics Comparison - Metro Last Light

With 4K monitors finally starting to come down in price, we thought we would show you just how much more crisp 4K gaming can be. Using Metro Last Light, we recorded footage at both 1920x1080 and 3840x2160 at maxed out Very High settings to give you a feel for how the two differ. Yes, gaming at 4K does require a lot of graphics horsepower but it also means that you don't need to enable AA as much as the resolution takes care of most of the issues.

We zoomed into the images to give you a closer look at the details and how they change with the increased resolution. There is a total of four scenes in the video which you can view embedded above or click here.
